Pursuant to the meeting ed to consider the best means of ng the country in its perilous position convened and was called to order by J Gregory Esq whon Tho Hon John P McGregor was chosen Chairman whereupon ho took ho chair and submitted an able and address to the people present on ha aim and objects of the Union ment the peril of the country This Union meeting accomplished all aye more than its most sanguine friends it would It came up fully to the requirements of the call cal wire pullers before and since its ad- seek to importance and thwart its patriotic object with what success will be seen We were in Madison on Tuesday evening of last week a time before the Convention adjourned and fora day and a half afterwards and had a ate opportunity of seeing and conversing with men from different parts of our State They almost invariably spoke with patriotic feeling in favor of ing every parly distinction watchword and arid iu favor of a of parties for the sake of the Un and wore evidently hopeful of its I being accomplished Below we give the passed and tho address put forth to the people by the Convention By that it will be seen that a People's Slate Convention is culled to meet at Madison ou the 24th inst Tho Republican Convention meets on the The Peoples Convention ion will probably meet and adjourn on the 24th and a conference vrill take place between the two conventions with a view of nominating a common ticket upon n platform that will meet tho probation Union loving citizens regret that wo have only in this issue for the resolutions and tha ad- dress given below Resolved That it becomes the duty of patriot lay aside the little weapons of his partisan warfare and look with a single eye and and undivided soul to the vast and paramount interests of our com- mon country Resolved That without reference to past political differences we nro in favor of the nomination of Mich men for tho rious offices as will with all the power of the state sustain the Administration in its exertions to put down the ing rebellion Resolved That it is the duty of all loyal and patriotic citizens to give the Administration in power a hearty nnd unwavering support until the rebellion is put down and the integrity ol the Union and tho supremacy of the Constitution as it is without amendment or compromise is fully established in all the states To the Electors of the State of The Union men of the State of consin iu Convention assembled beg leave to express to you their views upon the state of tho country and the duty of the loyal citizens in this most trying hour Upon the great question of ing tbe and bearing np its hands in every way within our power until this wicked rebellion is utterly and entirely crushed out and the old flag shall be respected iu all tha states of this Union and in each and every part thereof there bu but one opinion The only question for all of us to co-operation of the minority Let us not encourage onr enemies by a seeming difference of opinion where there is none nor allow ourselves by reviving old sues to support with loss zeal a ment whose mission Js the salvation of onr country As in the revolution there was no division of the people except in- to patriots and so in this rebellion let there be no division except as men are either patriots or In thus ing in one common band for tins great object no citizen is asked or required to sacrifice a single principle It is not be- that a single traitor can be found in our midst to a close observer of current events it is apparent that the warmth and ardor of many good men have already abated under the chilling and selfish appeals for tions and to avert this great calamity is the chief object to be by In the language of Hon Joseph Holt We are for this without and indivisible now and for- its preservation at any or every cost of and treasure against all its assailants and against any and every CORRESPONDENCE 4th REG Wis VOL CALL THE HoUSK Aug EDITORS STAB

said that a petition br the inhabitants of this and the two adjoining counties asking that we remain here had been War Department and that the Department had decided to com- ply with the prayer of the I trust this is not so as it would be gross to the officers and men composing the regiment I think that the very reasons given for asking that we remain are the strongest reasons for our being sent forward During the stay of other Regiments at this great complaint was made by the people of the soldiers compromise that may be proposed to be j depredations upon their property par made under the guns of the rebels It is now concealed that the hope is entertained and cherished that is a good and acceptable ticket is presented by the Union Convention composed of loyal energetic economical men that the ex- isting organizations will forego making any nominations and the energy of the whole people may be directed to one ob- ject and voice of party strife be ed To accomplish these great ends fellow citizens call upon yon to go the discussions of party questions and party nominations and thus avoid any and all discussions upon the of the present war in brief to merge the partisan into the patriot and rally to the support of the Constitution and the Union and the support of such men and such only as aru willing for these groat ends to waive party for country and ate for Union for Ike sake of the Union For the purpose of practically this good result it is mended that the electors of the state without distinction of parly assemble iu their respective Assembly at such time and place as to them shall seem best and select two delegates for each district to attend a Union State Convention to behold at the Assembly in tho city of Madison on Tuesday the day of September inst at 10

light He is not by party policy but has gone forth from home and dred to peril his life for our and his country having forgotten his party until the war is and is by the higher nobler and more I exalted sentiment of heroically j ing for Our Country our whole Country and nothing but our Country From many private letters we have received and seen from members of the Hudson City Guards all of them of late refer in a feeling manner to the position the Star has assumed and the course it advocates and wish it and the movement to blend all parties into one great al party of the Union GOD speed

excellent business man and is thoroughly posted upon banks and banking As a Union mnn upon a union ticket we be pleased to support him but we never can as a Republican upon their gardens No occasion for complaints of this kind have been given by the men of this Regiment but to the contrary nt the request of Col men have re- frained from ever going upon tbe premises of that objected to their coming there except in the discharge of their duties a good soldier is a cross between a saint and hero and is certainly called upon to exercise the virtues of both Our duties here call into action the virtues of the saint more than the hero The history of the world from the beginning up to the present time has shown that all saints are heroes but the reverse of this u far from true for the same authority shows that many who have established their claim to the title of hero in its common acceptation have shown quite as clearly that they had no claims to the title of saints ilen who Trill the arduous and tedious duties required of us here would never run on the field of battle To suppose that oar men have been so sparing of the property of those who are openly denouncing the Government and de- claring their sympathy for the rebels from in- is not to be and the only reason for it that can be given is that they are 1 good soldiers and have done so iu obedience to the orders of their superiors and the reward of this good is to bn tha orders of the War Department to where we arc In war the post of honor is the post of danger nnd having proved ourselves faithful orera few it is but right that we should be keepers over many If the faithful discharge of our duties has earned us the privilege of remaining in the rear we shall be very likely to ci course to enable us to get to the front where we desire to be regiments composed of men vastly interior to ours in physical ity the general character of the men line and drill are passing us on the way to the ting a disunion at home Now the army is united by a common feeling that of devotion to the Country They have not deemed it necessary or expedient to enquire whether the officers under whom they are called upon to volunteer were Democrats or Republicans but simply whether they devoted to the cause and I believe that Democrats will fight equally well under a Republican or a cratic captain It is strange indeed if those who remain at home cannot do what it is essary for them to do now to aid in carrying on the war as well under one as the other There 15 and can be but one issue before the people until tins war is ended and that is for or against the Government No man can or should bs tolerated No man who is not earnest sincere and active in his devotion to the country now should be placed in sition And 13 made so should be placed in the Squad No 3 ia called to supper and the dy man at that call is not the we are compelled to iard of action while stay here doing the True the work we are doing is as necessary to be done as the fighting is but it is not true that it is necessary that the best soldiers should bo employed in doing it During our here the regiment made rapid improvement iu their drill and are now entirely qualified to go into action where they earnestly desire to be I trust ami hope that the Department will not tamper with the spirits good n in such a manner The report to move forward im-

letters from their friends there recently received here were required by the gentleman who had so kindly taken charge of them to pay from twenty-five to fifty cents for the ance of each package in the bos A more swindle was never perpetrated Would it not be well for- the County to look out this matter and before they demand a return of the uniforms sent home by the members of the company to either
